According to the Guardian, Major League Rugby (MLR), which will play with only five teams in 2027, is planning for expansion. MLR co-president Alex Magleby stated that the league is in discussions with 17 groups and aims to return to 12 teams by the 2031 Rugby World Cup in the United States. A letter of intent has been signed with the Buffalo Thunderbolts regarding a bid for entry in 2028. Following the departure of several teams in recent years, the league is now focusing on a disciplined, milestone-driven expansion framework to ensure long-term sustainability.
